For the double knees, is it the same material used for the previous ones?
Seems to have the new gorecki fabric on the patches and I think AKC mentioned it would seasonally appropriate, so I would say it’s different.

Based on other posts, Kanata knit TTS? I believe when NMWA offered Kanata knits that was the consensus.

I spy some black cabled corduroy? Potential single pleat pant for fall?

Double knees are are the same undyed cotton khadi we used in the wader pants and namdak work pant. Contrast fabric is the same as the new goreckis.

Between that and the black cabled cord, RIP my wallet. That cotton khadi is phenomenal.

So good to hear that khadi material is coming back, it's one of my favorites! Are all the double knees for this season going to contrasting panels?

Was trying to do a big restock in a slightly different, non stretch ripstop for October but the fabric won’t be ready until the end of the year. There will be 2 colorways of the colorblocked ones, and this is the first.

Thanks! I guess I’ll have to step up and try the contrast ones then. A little out of my comfort level but that material is so good.

Straight almond ones would be amazing!
